Is it possible that Hanie is in that 3rd QB spot, where the only way he can come into the game is if both other QB's are lost but the team gets an extra roster spot for the game?

This is correct.

DAMNIT URLACHER STAY UP!!!

Jennings pushed Jones's arm down. That was PI. That was the right call.

I can't complain about that, the ball could have kept going and gotten to the end zone. He was the first one there and about the only one anywhere nearby.

The sideline vultures asked about it and confirmed it, Collins was warming but Cutler will give it a shot, it's his knee.

Wasn't the worst replay decision I've ever seen, but that's a difficult one to defend.

Sigh...Cutler underthrew it a bit, Knox wasn't defending it.

Briggs with a game-saving tackle.

That's what, a net 12 yards on the punt?

That play call could have been a short, quick slant and it still would have been a sack.

They got that sack with a 3 man rush. And the playcalling didn't have anything to do with it...that was just a complete failure by the line.

Eh, Rodgers just overthrew Nelson and Kuhn on back to back plays with Peppers in his face.

That vaunted Bears defense is being devoured.

Didn't he get hurt earlier this year? Anyway...if you need to keep 2 TE's in to block every play because your line is weak, then a guy like Clark loses some of his usefulness.

The flag and the shirt are the hard part.

Brett Favre once again filed retirement papers with the league today.

Don't forget the CBA negotiations. If there's no CBA reached before the draft, then the draft will happen before the free agency period begins, and teams won't really know what compromises may be struck regarding the 2011 FA class. In that case, the Bears would have to draft as though the 2011 FA period didn't happen, because it's entirely possible that it won't. One plausible scenario, for example, could be a CBA being struck around Sept. 1 once games start being threatened, with loss of 1-2 weeks of games, and a very abbreviated FA period where players are given huge penalties if they sign with anyone other than the team that controlled them the previous year.

Belichick is supposedly benching Welker for the start of the game.

The Bears need to practice onsides kick recovery.,

The crowd has been chanting "Green Bay Sucks" since there were about 12:00 left in the 4th quarter. Let's go ahead and get this up.

I disagree. I think the Bears CB's have had a very, very, very good game. Both of them. They were in position every single time for the whole first half.
